When moving into a new home, people have a lot on their mind. This can lead to forgetting some pretty logical tasks every new homeowner should attend to. Because the 'stress' of the situation can divert your attention away from other important tasks, we're here to help you keep some things in mind:

• Change the alarm code: You want to be the only one who has the ability to disarm your security system. It's an easy way to help sleep well at night. 
• Change the code for the garage opener: Again, you want to be the only person who has easy access to the interior of your home.
• Replace the batteries in smoke detectors: There is no way to know how much longer the batteries will last. It's best to play it safe. 
• Replace the AC filter: This is for hygienic purposes, as well as to ensure your system is operating efficiently. 
• Re-key all external locks: You have no way of knowing how many people have access to keys for the locks on your new home. Re-key the locks so you can... yes, sleep well at night!

These are just a few basic things that often get pushed aside for the more pressing tasks upon moving to a new home. If you would like to chat about some other small things people often forget about, we're always available to chat. Give us a call or shoot us an email for the assistance you deserve!
